Brokedown Palace Lyrics

Cover art for Brokedown Palace lyrics by Grateful Dead

I have always loved this song since my first Dead album which was Dead Set, I guess around 1982. Anyway, my wife Diane died on 5/13/13 at age 41 from breast cancer. On her gravestone I had inscribed "Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell".

Need I say more to tell you what I think this song is about?

My Interpretation

@kobrienbusiness So sorry for your loss; my wife Betsy died of the same cause, age 53, on 20 Dec. 2008.
